26 Southeastern Oklahoma State University
Articulation Policy
In accordance with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher
Education, Southeastern Oklahoma State University fully participates
in the articulation policy for the transfer of students
among Oklahoma public institutions. A student transferring to
Southeastern Oklahoma State University with an Associate of
Arts or an Associate of Science degree from any State System
institution will be considered to have completed the general
education requirements of the baccalaureate degree. There
may be some exceptions to this policy, where some students
may have to take additional courses in general education to
meet minimum professional certification requirements as defined
by the State.
Articulation Agreements
Southeastern Oklahoma State University has articulation
agreements with four junior colleges in North Texas: Collin
County Community College, Grayson County College, Paris
Junior College, and North Central Texas College. A student
who is transferring from one of these colleges with an associate
degree, as listed below, shall have acceptance of academic
credits earned at the junior college, with the condition that all
requirements for graduation from Southeastern be met within
his or her program of studies at the junior college and Southeastern
Oklahoma State University.
Collin County Community College
Associate of Arts or
Associate of Science
Paris Junior College
Associate of Arts or
Associate of Science
Grayson County College
Associate of Science
North Central Texas College
Associate of Arts or
Associate of Science
(Plus two semesters of lab science and one
semester of college-level mathematics.)
These agreements are subject to the following provisions:
1. The student shall have earned a minimum
cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale
(an average grade of “C” or better) or the equivalent.
2. The core curriculum for the associate degrees listed
above will be accepted as satisfying the general
education requirements at Southeastern, with the
exception of North Central Texas College, where
students must have also completed two semesters
of lab science and one semester of college-level
mathematics.
3. Courses that are academically equivalent to courses
at Southeastern will be transferred, and they will
receive credit at the lower-division level. A few
selected courses may require validation to substitute
for Southeastern courses.
4. The student shall earn a minimum of sixty (60)
semester hours at Southeastern (excluding physical
education activity courses) for a minimum of 124
semester hours for a baccalaureate degree. Some
programs (i.e., teacher education and aerospace
studies) may have more restrictive degree or
admission criteria.
These articulation agreements may be modified or terminated
by any institution involved at any time.
Acceptance of Transfer Credits
Southeastern Oklahoma State University accepts credits
earned at junior and senior colleges that are accredited by
the regional accrediting associations, such as the The Higher
Learning Commission: A Commission of the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools. Students transferring from
junior community colleges need to be aware that a minimum
of 60 semester hours of course work (excluding physical education
activity courses) applied toward the bachelor’s degree
must be earned at a senior institution.
Work taken at junior or community colleges cannot be
counted in meeting the upper-division requirements of Southeastern
Oklahoma State University, even if the course is
equated to a 3000/4000 level course at Southeastern. Upperdivision
requirements relate to junior and senior (3000/4000
level) courses of study.
Transfer credits are accepted and applied to degree programs
generally in accordance with the recommendations in
the Transfer Credit Practices Guide published by AACRAO
(American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions
Officers). Consequently, credits from some technical
colleges and professional schools may not be applicable toward
degree requirements at Southeastern Oklahoma State
University due to the highly technical or specialized nature of
the credits earned.
Once the student is currently enrolled in course work at
Southeastern Oklahoma State University, transfer credits will be
recorded from the official transcript of each accredited institution
attended by the student. Transfer credit will not be recorded
if the student is not currently enrolled at Southeastern. Official
transfer transcripts submitted to Southeastern Oklahoma State
University will not be returned to the student.
